Now, ready to go to the so great Sacred Kingdom, Davis' party only had one little problem... How are they supposed to get there?
"Well, we'll have to get a boat." Said Ken, and he and the others looked at Kari, that was the princess of the Kingdom after all.
"I'll find one." She said, then went out, leaving the others to look at the sea.
"Is it far?" asked Mimi, Matt then looked at her and smiled.
"No, according to the legend, the Sacred Kingdom is not so far from the Northern Kingdom, and neither from the others kingdoms, is just that from here is better to get there, even the distance being the same." He said, and Mimi nodded.
It didn't take long to Kari arrive, and on the beach, a guy with a very big boat could be seem.
"He said he would lend us his boat, and for free, because I'm the princess." She said, then the others went near the guy to get on the boat.
They began to head to the Sacred Kingdom, in that huge boat (is not a ship, is just a really big boat). Several hours passed till it was in the ending of the afternoon. But then, they saw. A gigantic island could be seemed from where they were. Everybody became excited, as their adventure was finally getting better, as they were near their destiny. And soon, they were in the softy sand of the Sacred Kingdom.
They began to walk towards the town of the castle. And what they saw make them very sad. The town was totally abandoned, and the houses and shops were ruined. It was pretty sad that such a great region on the past was now nothing but something that only appears in legends.
Davis and the others began to walk towards the castle that, according to the legend, was where the ice of the princess Claire Jordan was locked in. When they were near it, that seemed to be the biggest castle of all, being the one that was where the king Jordan, king of the world, lived once, Ken stopped them.
"Wait! We're not supposed to get in there yet!" he said, Matt, Yolei and Sora understanding, while the others only stayed there not moving.
"Why?" they said.
"Ryo, the one that supposedly locked Claire Jordan in the ice, was the second most powerful mage in the world. The first was Claire herself. So I suppose that a normal sword can't brake the ice." Said Matt.
"Then what? What are we gonna do?" asked Davis, his hope vanishing.
"The legend says that only a sword can brake the ice. And this sword is called... the Crystal Blade." Said Ken.
"The Crystal... Blade?" repeated Davis.
"Yes. Created by Claire and some unknown person, this sword is extremely strong and magical, and is the only key to brake the ice." Said Yolei.
"Well, let's get this sword then! Where is it located?" asked Davis, back to his old self.
"In that forest." Said Sora, motioning a forest beside the castle.
They went in the forest that was extremely silent and dark. But that was getting annoying, as they went through it, and nothing seemed to happen.
"Where is this so called powerful sword? I can't se anything in here!" said Tai, just as annoyed as Davis.
"Well, they say that is in the heart of the forest, and to get there, like 500 years ago, was very difficult, but now... It pretty easy, there's nothing in this forest!" said Matt, cutting some woods that were blocking his path. But then, one thing left everybody surprised and amazed.
In the middle of the forest, was a rock. And in the rock, was a sword. A very incredible sword. Its blade was made of a pure crystal, and its sheath was made of silver, and had some blue jewels on it (no, I didn't get the idea of the sword in the rock from a guy named Arthur...). The moonlight was clearly illuminating the sword, and this part was the forest too, they now could see that this part of the forest was like nothing happened, like the kingdom was never abandoned, because the trees and the flowers were wonderful as always.
"This is a.. wonderful place..." whispered Mimi, and the others girls, and even the boys, were fascinated by the beauty of the heart of the forest.
"So this is what they call... The Heart of The Holy Forest'" said Yolei.
"Davis? What are you waiting for? Go on e pick the sword up!" said Ken, and Davis got back from reality (he was watching as the moonlight was reflecting on Kari's hair...).
"Y... Yeah, sure..." he said, then went to pick up the sword. When he was near, Davis felt someone throwing him away, and he hit a nearby tree.
"Who's there? What did you do that for?" asked TK, and two figures appeared. But, there was something different about them... They seemed like they were... illusions...
"You cannot go on and pick The Legendary Crystal Blade like that." said both in unison. With the moonlight, they could see the two ghostly figures that threw Davis away. One was a girl. A red-haired girl, that had some inches of blond hair, and her hair was down, and had beautiful and mysterious purple eyes. The other was a blue-haired boy, with great gray eyes. They had coats, the girl's was dark-blue, and the boy's was dark-green, and their other clothes were black, like their shoes, shirt and pants.
"Who... are you?" asked Davis.
"We are the guardians of The Legendary Crystal Blade, summoned by Claire to do this task." They answered, in unison.
"We are soul-mates that Claire summoned to keep the sword save, and to not let anyone touch or catch it. It would be horrible if such great sword would be in the wrong hands." Said the boy.
"So, Claire summoned us, and told that we could only let one person have it. And we'd know who he'd be." Said the girl.
"And how'd you know who this person would be?" asked Ken.
"He'd have to pass the test." The girl said, a grin appearing on her face.
"Well, we want to get the sword, so we'll pass through this test." Said Tai, as he and the others grabbed their swords, except for Kari (she doesn't have one). But they were stopped by two other figures that run towards them. One was a girl, and the other was a boy (coincidence?).
"You'll fight the guardians? They're too powerful!" said the girl, that had a spear.
"I'm with her, don't you want any help?" said the guy, and he had a sword like the others.
"I'm Naru, and he's Arthur. We'll help you." The girl said. She had black hair that came to her shoulders, and had green eyes; the boy had brown hair, and blue eyes.
"Well, if you want." The red-head girl said.
"We are Ruki Makino and Jenrya Lee, the soul-mates guardians summoned by Claire Jordan to protect The Legendary Crystal Blade, and we'll submit all of you in our test. The one that'll pass will win the sword; if not, you'll be expelled from the Sacred Kingdom in the right moment. The condition is: two by two of you will combat with us, and if we win, then other two will come, and that till you win, or us." The two guardians said.
"Wait! Kari will not participate! I don't want her to get hurt." Said TK, and Kari glared at him, with tears in her eyes.
"I don't want you to participate too, TK!" said Kari, and Ken nodded.
"Without Kari, one us won't participate either, because we have to have the right number." He said, but Davis disagreed.
"I'll fight them alone." He said, and everyone was shocked.
"But Davis..." Tai started, but Davis cut him off.
"No buts, Tai. Let's begin."
"Okay, who will be the first?"
